目前cosbeta组织的bluehost合租只剩这一批了，当然只要不会有不可抗拒的因素存在（其他几个都是换了独立IP之后都继续撞墙），一定会继续下去的，这一批只有8个合租伙伴了。

希望大家珍惜，若8个伙伴都续费，cosbeta就不打算再让其他人加入了，小众群体，用起来、管理起来都相当方便。

下面是方才的livechat:

Luke [2:54:32 AM]: Welcome to our real-time support chat. How can I help you today?
cosbeta [2:54:32 AM]: your renew price is $8.95/m why not 7.95???
[2:56:35 AM]: I bought it for $7.95/month, and renew it for $8.95/month, don’t you think that you have set a trap for me?
Luke [2:56:50 AM]: No
[2:56:55 AM]: So it renewed at 8.95
[2:57:22 AM]: You will need to contact our Billing department. billing @bluehost.com and they can work with then to get it resolved.
cosbeta [2:58:06 AM]: your renew price is 8.95, why it is more expensive than before?
Luke [2:58:54 AM]: It shouldnt be
[2:59:14 AM]: We do increase the price,. But existing customers keep the plan that they signed up for.
cosbeta [3:01:27 AM]: Iyou use lower price to sell your service, and if you got the customer, your increase the price, which is not resonable!
Luke [3:05:44 AM]: If you signed up before the price went up you will not be increased to that amount.
cosbeta [3:06:44 AM]: Renew Web Hosting XXX.com 2008-11-30 2009-11-30 $8.95 $107.40 remove
[3:07:32 AM]: why in your cpanel, it says the price is 8.95? could you please check it for me?
Luke [3:08:45 AM]: You need to call our billing team in 6 hours. I can not adjust this. Let them know whats going on and they will fix the issue.
cosbeta [3:09:24 AM]: OK,I will send a ticket to them, thank you very much for your help

原来是他们的系统错误，看看明天处理的结果将会如何，期待中。

2008-11-23 09：39补充：原来，bluehost确实是给他的客户设置了一个陷阱，如此不诚信的虚拟主机商，此后不在考虑：

Unfortunately, we cannot offer the new sign up price for the renewal of your account. As stated in the Terms of Service:
“Prices are limited time promotional prices (available to new subscribers only) and are valid only through the selected term. Subsequent terms will renew at the standard (non-promotional) rate at the time of renewal. All hosting packages are prepaid and renew automatically.”

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us.

对于修改A记录的朋友，如果明天早上发现whode.com可以访问了的话，请将你的A记录指向和whode.com相同的IP，如何获取whode.com的IP：开始-》运行-》cmd-》ping whode.com 你看到的那个IP地址便是。

再次提醒伙伴们：莫谈国事，莫谈事实，没有办法，谁也抵抗不了GtmF的W

erick [7:56:32 AM]: Thank you for contacting support! Please give me moment to read through your question.
7tiger [7:56:32 AM]: Please contact the support department as soon as possible, and please have your site name ready.

7tiger.com with password **** ????
erick [7:56:49 AM]: Let me look it up
7tiger [7:58:16 AM]: and what’s wrong with this account please?
erick [7:59:13 AM]: The account was suspended because a very cpu intensive and large gzip process was running via SSH on the account and it was degrading the server’s performance
7tiger [8:00:02 AM]: I have cancelled that process and I promise this will never happen again! could you please reactive it for me?
erick [8:01:18 AM]: Yes, let me put in a request
7tiger [8:02:18 AM]: how long will it take ?
[8:04:10 AM]: ??
erick [8:05:19 AM]: It should not take more than a couple of minutes
7tiger [8:06:01 AM]: but now,the status is still suspended
[8:13:05 AM]: hello? I am waiting for the account reactivation
erick [8:13:36 AM]: I am still waiting for it to be re-activated

今天早上发现一些domain依然不能访问，原来BH恢复帐号之后依然将suspended的htaccess留在了每个域名的目录下面，昨天晚上承诺帮我删除的，居然那个家伙看到我退出了livechat就不管了，这点上来说bluehost比如hostgator好，所以今天早上只好再次livechat表达了我的愤怒，并且强烈要求赶快删除所有遗留下来的 htaccess文件！

Bluehost本次的反应让人很失望。首先是账户恢复了，但是他居然把错误的htaccess还留在那里，今天上午进行了3次livechat，第一次解决了htaccess的问题（还是没有彻底解决）；第二次解决了Cpanel的问题；第三次livechat是因为发现7tiger下所有的域名都出问题了，不过刚刚连接livechat的人却发现已经好了，如果有朋友账户还是无法访问，请到下面留言，或者自行处理一下，处理的方法是：删除web根目录下的htaccess文件，将.htaccess.suspended 重命名成.htaccess

补充：在sansky.net的blog上看到他对Bluehost的抱怨，看来bluehost确实由于人数爆增从而出现了瓶颈。而由于本人的blog静态化了，所以受mysql down掉影响小得多，没有注意到BH的数据库的问题！

另外我感觉中国用户应该是bluehost的最大客户，因为在晚上11点之后livechat一分钟内基本可以连接上，而中国白天时间，livechat几乎不可用，或者要等上20来分钟，我今天一上午就被BH的误操作给浪费掉了。

今天我特意的去看了看bluehostCEO的blog,从而获得了两个信息:1.hostmonster和bluehost是一家这是肯定没错的（Bluehost.com and Hostmonster.com have a CPU quota limit in place to try and mitigate the server problems that a single user or a small set of users can create.）；2.bluehost的CPU限制并没有取消，而是放宽了，这个是本人关注的重点。

Effective immediately (Actually as of Friday January 25th) we have altered the way we calculate CPU usage. Each user’s cap is now approximately double what we had it set to previously. Many users have complained lately that our cpu quotas were overly restrictive. I believe these changes should reduce the number of people that run into this problem by about 90%. We will continue to tweak our settings to stop only the most abusive of users on the system. This was never meant as a way to limit functionality, but rather a way to guarantee resources for servers that are shared by many users.

在他的blog中说，由于以前的CPU限制是很早就定下来的，因为那个时候服务器只有一个或者两个CPU核，所以对CPU使用时间计算得比较严格。但是现在他们的服务器至少都是8核的CPU，所以以前的计算方法就不再适用了，于是他们（bluehost和hostmonster）改变了CPU使用时间的计算方式，按照当前的计算方式，CPU的限制时间至少提高了一倍，而这一倍至少可以让90%的超标用户不会再出现超标的困扰了。与其错误的认为CPU的限制是在对服务器的功能做了限制，不如说它的存在是为了更好的保证其他共享用户的稳定，当然，同时CPU的限制也是服务器稳定运行的一个必要条件，至少对于我自己来说，哪一天如果bluehost彻底取消了CPU限制，我宁愿搬家到其他新的host上去。

其实bluehost一直都在修改他的域名绑定策略，最初的bluehost域名只能绑定在子目录下面，比如xxx.com 就只能绑定在 xxx的目录下面，xxx.com都是非法的目录名。后来bluehost对域名的绑定目录又做了调整，可以自己随便指定目录了，即使是三级目录都没有关系，这为合租的购买者提供了极大的方便。

然而，今天我发现，bluehost对域名的绑定的方式又做了一次修改，这次修改我是相当的不喜欢的。它让绑定的方式又回到了远古时代，那就是域名只能绑定在第一级子目录下面，xxx.com只能绑定在public_html/dir下面，虽然dir的名字可以自己随便定义，但是只能绑定在二级目录却是相当的不方便管理，特别是我的那几个合租的帐户更是如此。不过有个好的地方就是绑定不一定要修改DNS，但是绑定的时候为了验证域名的所有权，就必须输入EPP CODE，这个时候又有朋友要郁闷了，EPP CODE是啥？所以阿，这样的方式还不如修改DNS来得快，bluehost这样改来改去的，仅仅是减少了他们客服的负担而已，把麻烦留给了客户。

EPP CODE是什么东西？每个国际域名（cn的我不清楚）都有一个唯一的编码，也叫授权码auth code，只要你知道了这个编码，该域名就可以随便转移到其他的注册商名下了。所以只要你给出了EPP CODE，就能说明该域名确实属于你拥有。以前国内注册的域名DNS都很难修改，就更别想它会告诉你EPP CODE了，因此很多朋友不知道EPP那是相当正常的。

好了，既然改成了这个样子，咱们还是见招拆招吧。对于本站的合租伙伴，我很抱歉的告诉你，同一个帐户下域名不能再添加了，如果要添加域名就得新开帐户了，请见谅哦！

本人不会再组织合租了，所以对于老用户，已经绑定了两个域名的，按照原来的价格续费，新的用户（考虑到不是所有的用户都要续费，所以会有新用户）只能以域名为单位了，价格为50一个域名！

当有用户空缺的时候我会在本blog上公布，目前所有的合租都还没有到期，一直处于正常状态。

当然阿，需要代购bluehost的朋友，你购买bluehost之前也最好仔细阅读一下上面的文字，bluehost的域名绑定方式总是一直在变化，所以你千万要注意哦。本站会一直提供bluehost代购，所以大家在找我代购bluehost的时候，有什么问题，尽管给我email好了。email在哪里？本页顶部便是。

刚写完本文，又替一朋友代购了bluehost，感谢这位朋友的信任
